The “Glee” cast is headed out on the road.
Those fans who religiously watched each episode, bought all the soundtracks, dreamed of Finn and Puck, and memorized all of the mash-ups are in luck, with the cast preparing for their spring tour.
On Monday, Fox announced that Ryan Murphy, co-creator of “Glee,” will bring the Golden Globe award winning show out to concert stages during the month of May. However, the tour will only be visiting four cities and have seven shows.
The tour will be kicking off in Phoenix at Dodge Theatre on May 18. All the kids are expected to be present.
Cory Monteith (Finn), Lea Michele (Rachel), Amber Riley (Mercedes), Kevin McHale (Artie), Chris Colfer (Kurt). Jenna Ushkowitz (Tina), Dianna Agron (Quinn), Mark Salling (Puck), Naya Rivera (Santana), Harry Shum (Mike), Dijon Talton (Matt) and Heather Morris (Brittany) are all scheduled for appearances. Mr. Schuster (played by Matthew Morrison) and Sue Sylvester (played by Jane Lynch) fans will be out of luck. They won’t be part of the roster on the tour.
According to Fox, “Sweet Caroline,” “Don’t Rain on My Parade,” “Jump,” “Somebody to Love” and “Don’t Stop Believing” are some of the songs that will be expected to be on the concert’s set list as conceived by Murphy.
In a recent statement, Murphy said, “response from the fans to ‘Glee’ has been very gratifying and immediate. We want to be able to go out so we could thank them in person and live. ‘Glee’ of course lends itself perfectly to a concert. We can’t wait until we are able to take the show out on the road. The actors are very excited to be able to perform in the four cities in front of live audiences.”
“Glee Live! In Concert!” will be playing in Phoenix for one night, and then have two nights runs in Chicago, Los Angeles and New York City. The tour wraps up at Radio City Music Hall on May 29.
On March 12, tickets will be going on sale for the date in Phoenix. The remainder of show tickets will be going on sale on March 13. The prices for tickets ranges from $39.50 to $89.50.
If Gleeks can’t make it to one of the concerts being held in the four cities, they don’t need to worry. The series will be returning from its break on April 13. Following the tour, production will begin for the second season.
